He must know things are going to go roughly for him in the case then. His lawyer has probably told him to expect a guilty verdict.

Is managing Stangeways a step up or down from Wales?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sideways and about 8 miles up

Yep, he'd be cleared by the end of August before the national team will meet again so his distraction argument doesn't really hold much water

 

[Banjo]

I expect enough will come out at trial whether guilty or not to put him in an untenable position.

Kevin Friend has jacked it in. Another being rewarded for ineptitude with a job in PGMOL offices

Kevin Friend

Cunt.

Derby look like they have a buyer.

Wayne Rooney quits as Derby manager as hopes grow over takeover

Wayne Rooney has stepped down as Derby manager after 17 turbulent months on the day hopes grew for a takeover of the club by a local property group

Will they still face a points deduction if the takeover isn't completed by the start of the season?

I think it depends on the terms of the deal which is all football creditors paid in full and others 25p in the £. Ashley didn't want to pay that which is why if his offer had gone through it would have been -15 points.

I may be wrong, but as long as the terms are in place I don't think that is an automatic pre season deduction even if the deal isn't finalised, but as we know with the EFL their rules are fluid

Impossible, surely?

Nope, he's still on bail.

Mason Greenwood investigation ongoing with Man Utd striker still suspended

England international Mason Greenwood was arrested in January after images were posted on social media and has not played for United since

Regardless of what happens in the legal process, there's still easily scope for him to be dismissed for gross misconduct.

A further extension to the bail was agreed by the courts yesterday.

England’s women, who have a Dutch coach and are wearing a kit that looks like something the Dutch should be wearing are beating the Netherlands (wearing white and who have an English coach) 4-1 in a Euro’s build up friendly.

They won’t sack him because he’s an asset and football clubs don’t give a fuck about morality. If he gets off on a technicality then bangs 15 in, it’ll get swept under the carpet.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He won’t play for United again.
